Contemplating ending my pain

I have been suffering from depression for 5 years diagnosed now. I am unemployed and have been on and off for a year now. People say that maybe I can not keep work because of my depression and stuff. Well anyway, today is another very bad day and I feel like I just want to end it. I am yelling at my two girls for nothing and they know that something is wrong. I feel like I can not continue on this cycle anymore. I am looking for some advice or anything right now.

I know exactly how you feel. I have been in the same situation and have taken an overdose and slit my wrists a number of times. It will not make you feel any better, only worse. You will end up in hospital and could even be sectioned. You would then be taken away from your girls and just imagine the effect it will have on them?
